Human Health Sciences

ENVIRON provides clients unparalleled expertise in assessing the potential human health effects that may be associated with exposures to chemicals in the environment, in food and consumer products, and in the workplace. Our staff of experienced health scientists―including toxicologists, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, industrial hygienists, molecular biologists and pharmacologists― works closely with ENVIRON experts in chemical fate and transport, and exposure assessment to provide the objective, scientific analysis needed to help guide efforts to protect human health. Human health risk assessment methodologies pioneered by ENVIRON assist our clients in addressing some of their most challenging issues, including those related to regulatory compliance, new product registration, product stewardship, worker health and safety, site remediation and response to litigation.

Methodology Development

ENVIRON health scientists developed a method to assess the potential for adverse health effects when the chemical of interest is an essential nutrient, such as manganese.

Children's Susceptibilities

ENVIRON participated in a case study for the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) to illustrate the use of the Children’s Risk Assessment Framework as it pertains to perchlorate. The main purpose of this effort was to develop a systematic approach for organizing, evaluating and incorporating the available data on children’s susceptibilities in risk assessment. ENVIRON’s work was published in the peer-reviewed literature.

Risk Assessment Harmonization

ENVIRON scientists developed new methods for harmonization of risk assessment for cancer and non-cancer effects caused by receptor-mediated chemicals, such as DEHP.
